Getting the Message: The Story of the British Post Office | 
pickI was thinking about Sense and Sensibility one day, and remembering Marianne running around that London townhouse hoping for a letter from Willoughby. That made me start looking up info on the penny & two-penny post. This is the only book I could find that is exclusively focused on the subject. It‘s not great, but it had the info and many of the stories I had hoped to find; thus, it‘s a worthwhile read.
Hamlet When the Royal Mail was first extended to all the people, the recipient of a letter had to pay the postage, not the sender. Can you imagine?! 2y
